I always thought it'd be fun to do this sort of stuff in full uniform. It's one of my biggest regrets about choosing to not become an NBA megastar. I liked the idea of running into someone like Shane Battier in a Safeway or Meijer and he's got his No. 31 Grizzlies jersey tucked into his shorts with a pair of Huraches laced up, leaning on his grocery cart while inspecting the nutrition facts on a box of Cap'n Crunch.
I’ve posted before but my buddy was suite mates with him at Brewster Acad. and he is legit the kindest dude I’ve ever met. Gave my buddy a McDonald’s All American Jersey and still hits us up seeing if we are trying to make any games.
I think that many people actually are decent humans. Even ones I used to feel, let's say apathy, towards turn out to not be so bad (e.g. Marcus Smart's charity work).
His rookie year I was living in Los Angeles and had a job as a caterer. I worked the ESPY's awards that year and his mom and sister were in my section. I told them I was from Utah and a jazz fan and gave them restaurant suggestions for when they visit Utah. When I left to get them a drink his mom pointed me out to Mitchell and he came over and gave me a huge hug and we talked for a second. I told him how excited I was and how I thought they were gonna win a championship. He was really cool and down to earth. I miss him on the Jazz but I'll always be a fan of his. He's a legitimately good dude
the kid looked more proud than happy even in the video when holdign up the jersey. bet hes actually a fan of the sport and not just a parent bringing him there because they are the fan. thats awesome.
I remember getting to a Rockets game early and getting a bag signed by Ron Artest (before his enlightenment). Really wanted Yao or T Mac’s signature, but Ron Artest is cool too lol
As much as I can't stand this subs collective rabid obsession with finding a way to circle back to either Kyrie or Ben Simmons regardless of topic, this comment did actually make me think for a minute; imagine you have a job where it's this fuckin' easy to just cruise around, making peoples day with almost zero effort, and instead you spend that time doing whatever the fuck it is Kyrie Irving has been playing at the last ~3 years of his life.
That’s got to be such a cool experience as a pro athlete, literally you taking 2 minutes out of your day can make a kids entire year. Probably will keep that jersey for the rest of his life. I’m sure it gets frustrating but imagine being able to do almost nothing and meaning so much for someone. Pretty neat.
I'm both sad and happy that we traded Mitchell, it was time to shake things up, but I'll miss Mitchell, he was a hell of a player and good people. At the same time I'm happy to see him striving in Cleveland.
Is it that hard to do this kind of shit on the regular ? I feel like if I was a basketball player and in a position to make some 8 year old kid smile from ear to ear and give them something they can remember for a lifetime I’d be doing his all the time . That could be me just saying that of course because I don’t know anything about that life style but just my 2 cents. 99% of those guys end up being massive dickheads
Replays/alternate angles
Remember when he just showed up to a random fan’s pool party? Dude seems super cool.
He's always been one for the fans. Miss him.

Damn. That’s an awesome story.
One might say he's Actually-Gay-4NBA-Fan(s)
Sometimes you forget that there are a lot of genuinely down to earth and nice players when all you hear about is the bullshit drama
I wish there were more.
I think that many people actually are decent humans. Even ones I used to feel, let's say apathy, towards turn out to not be so bad (e.g. Marcus Smart's charity work).
From day one, Don's motto has been "stay humble" and he really seems to be keeping that up. Complete opposite attitude of Ben Simmons.
It’s nice with guys like Mitchell, Giannis, Lopez twins, etc
That’s how it works…even on Reddit haha.
Donovan Mitchell is a nice guy.
Imagine if he actually just took the jersey and went home though.

I love this guy. I miss having him on the Jazz, but I'm glad he's doing awesome things in Cleveland.
Really is. His episode on the JJ Reddick podcast was delightful.
And he's having a good time in Cleveland rn.
I agree Go Cavs
[удалено]
Donovan is so easy to root for man. Such an awesome player and person.
Yeah and he plays his heart out every game, hard to dislike.
I legit wanna give him a lil smooch
I was told I was supposed to hate him because Gobert and him didn't get along. I fucking love Mitchell and he is the man.
It was so weird to see jazz fans turn on him last year
Determination over negativity.
Totally, I personally became a huge fan because I found out he plays drums, as I do. Seems like such a genuine dude.
I really like this guy.
Got a pretty awesome nickname too, Spida-man
He was always such a good dude around the community here in UT.
What’s his thoughts on Kyrie and Black Israelites though?
Mitchell seems like a pretty solid dude
Donovan's a real one.
I’m happy with the trade return, but dang I miss him
The Cavs team is so damn likable
We’re coming after Steven Adams next. Hide yo kiwis!
Team Good Guys
I hate it.
Huge W. That kid will probably remember that the rest of his life
Probably buy a Mitchell jersey now too.
the kid looked more proud than happy even in the video when holdign up the jersey. bet hes actually a fan of the sport and not just a parent bringing him there because they are the fan. thats awesome.
He's going to keep the screenshot of that ebay page in a special folder on Google Drive.
Hes a good egg
I'm pretty sure he is a biped.
he’s got that egg in him?
Such a wholesome team.
Still one of the best playoff performances i’ve ever seen by a rookie. This dude is special
as much as i liked donovan on the court, it was his off court actions that really endeared me to him.
Absolutely.
I've always liked Mitchell. He's a good guy
Took 2 minutes out of his day and gave this fan a memory that'll last a lifetime.
How can you not like this man? I'll always root for Donovan.
He has embraced Cleveland. Honestly was a hater, but man, he can definitely lead Cleveland to the ECF.
His 1st assist of the night
Good guy, Donovan
He’s awesome man.
Rooting for the Cavs man. Such a good team.
Your friendly Neighbour player
That is a sign of young man with very good character and kindness.
Co-sign.
W Donovan
Couldnt hate this man even if i wanted to. Hope his ankle is alrite.
Man as a warriors fan I really have nothing to hate about this Cavs time like we've had a few years back. They're so talented and wholesome
Same! I’m a Cavs fan and honestly glad that rivalry is over so I can really enjoy how special Steph is
He has a very honest face. No further comment
I remember getting to a Rockets game early and getting a bag signed by Ron Artest (before his enlightenment). Really wanted Yao or T Mac’s signature, but Ron Artest is cool too lol
Damn. Gotta give props to Mitchell. Nice gesture.
Mitchell=Good Guy

Smh
Respect
Good Guy Donovan. Wasn't a fan before. A fan now.
What a fucking G.
Amazing, what a great guy…
This dude deserves everything he has
Kid will tell this story for the rest of his life. What a moment.
Na thats cool
very cool
Donovan a real one
Well damn. Cleveland couldn’t be more opposite of Minny right now.
How neat is that?
GOAT Cav
Very disrespectful toward dellavedova
I love sweet moments like this between the fans and the players. I hate that only the richest fans get a chance to experience it
Donovan Mitchell is genuinely a good dude.
I totally forgot he’s on the cavs
Fuck yeah great job Donovan. Effort took less time then me to post this and he and Evan made a lifelong memory for the kid and his family.
Man, DM just entered my heart
Love the Don!
That's awesome. Good guy Donovan.
He did stuff like this in Utah all the time. Great guy.
He is the fucking man for that
MJ would never, he would’ve signed it and only gave it back if the kid beat him 1v1
That’s awesome
Mitchell grew up with a professional athlete as a father. He understands the job as well as anyone in the NBA.

What's your Jamal Murray story?
The anti-kyrie
Dope.
When you go above and beyond
What a nice guy
Wow .. this is touching. I wish the stuipid lakers FO planned to have him
Awesome.
Class act
God damn I love Don
I like Mitchell a lot
That Cavs team really has some awesome guys on their roster!
This isn't all that surprising tbh, Mitchell has always been a nice dude
Well done Don 👍
I love this man so much
I haven’t really been following the nba closely this season. Donovan Mitchell is at 32ppg?! God damn
I don't wanna see anybody ever slander this man
He's one of the last Rick Pitino guys and maybe last great Louisville guy.
Wish we found a way to flip simmons for this guy during the offseason
Do you want to make me your fan?
He’s holding it up pre-signed?
most wholesome award contender
Wow. I love seeing these man.
That's awesome
Hes so likeable. Until you face him in the playoffs, miss me with that cavs team bruh, they good.
i guess rudy is toxic
Common Donovan W
That’s classy 👏🏼
Mitchell was always a class act with the fans.
I'm both sad and happy that we traded Mitchell, it was time to shake things up, but I'll miss Mitchell, he was a hell of a player and good people. At the same time I'm happy to see him striving in Cleveland.
“How neaaat is that, guys? I gotta tell ya”
“How neaaat is that, guys? I gotta tell ya”
Donovan Mitchell is cool af
Mitchell is the fucking man. gonna be a great mentor to Mobley

and the cell phone story
It looks more like the sharpie ran out of ink and he went looking for a new one.
